I'm originally from Eastern Europe (not Ukranian) and seeing a Ukranian portrayed as a thief just pushed my buttons. We are not all thieves, gypsies, and gold-diggers! Some of the most intelligent and cultured people I know are fellow Eastern Europeans, and this was just insulting. Thank you, Justine, for pointing out this cliché even though it's not French. As always, I love your videos!

[analuisacortina]

I am from México, we are always portrayed as criminals in American movies and their media so I couldn’t agree more with your thoughts about the Ukranian caracter.

I think Emily's wardrobe is extremely impractical for the weather here in Europe. Throughout both seasons (which reflects a year), she's constantly wearing short skirts, dresses and shorts, which, practically seen, cannot be worn in central Europe at least 4-5 months of the year! Also, the weather in Paris is shown to be sunny 90% of the time, which is of course far from the truth.

[gingerbread]

I'm Greek and the stereotypes that follow us as a nation are endless 😅 I just wanted to say that truth or not, France should be proud of not working in the weekends, end at 5pm sharp and enjoy their holiday.These are labor rights that were earned with blood ✌️

[catia.m]

I'm Portuguese, just visited France once, know a little about the French culture, and watching the show I spot all the topics you addressed! Plus the horrific plot of the Ukrainian girl. Portugal has lots of Ukrainian immigrants and they're all honest working people. It was definitely a terrible scramble of stereotypes and misconceptions... 🤦🏻‍♀️ Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo, Justine! 🙏🏻

As a Ukrainian, I can confirm that most of us hated the portrayal of a Ukrainian person in this show, not to mention that her name isn’t even Ukrainian… it’s like they didn’t even try, or they just want to make people mad so that more people talk about the show 😅

[otykhonruk]

Thank you for mentioning an episode with the "Ukrainian" girl. The whole plot is rude, offensive, and the character's behaviour is so wildly exaggerated I wouldn't even call it "cliché." Can't believe it was possible to film that in 2021.

[jenka]

I am German and - yeah those saunas and rigorous Bademeister we've got would give Emily a heart attack.
Pretty certain that female photographer's very stone-faced manager (?) was German. Not surprised about us getting depicted as super serious, but we did pick up one or two additional facial expressions in the last 20 years.

[АнастасіяНищота-Фостяк]

I am Ukrainian and this new Ukrainian character immediately caused a wave of rage on social media towards Netflix, that even our minister of culture wrote them a letter. The answer was, of course, that they appreciate concerns and will be more careful in the future. Funny thing is, that this character wasn't even influencing the plot, she was there just to humiliate this fille d'Est image. And Petra isn't even an Ukrainian name, and I doubt that it ever was

[amyrobinson]

The thing that drives me craziest about the show is how they show up in different $1000+ outfits every day! I've never seen anyone wear the same outfit twice.

[justmechilling...]

Irish here, not all of us are alcoholics just saying 😁 and if you want time out from all the heat in the summer yes do come over but bring a rain jacket just in case. It's only bad weather if you are not dressed properly. 😆🖖

[mirelasemanjaku]

The only true thing from "Emily in Paris" season 2, it's her failing in the language test.

[blubb]

The Sauna issue made me laugh. I'm german and can relate as I experienced that in a reverse situation. I was told to cover up in a Sauna at a UK Spa.

[gennguerra]

I'm from the Philippines. Other countries think of us as OFW (maids/nurse/caregiver/etc), but I believe we are more than that.
We are proud of those who work outside the Philippines as OFWs, and we are also proud of our diversity that we can work in any industry here in the Philippines. Thank you, Justine! I love your videos. xoxo

[wuerzelburg]

My story as a Greek. When I work with western Europeans or travel there. Some Negative clichés Greeks encounter
- Some think we don't know our scientific job well because we are Greeks.😡 I am an civil engineer by the way.
They don't tell it directly (rarely the do) but you can feel it.
— Some think we are lazy, poor and by definition not well organised and probably corrupt because we are Greeks.
-During the height of the Greek financial crisis many of us were treated like moochers in restaurants, hotels etc in Europe. Just because we were Greeks, they thought we don't have money to pay for the services provided to us.
-Some think we like eating only lamb gyros, although in Greece you won't find lamb gyros anywhere. And although pork is most selling meat in Greece.
-Some think we are Muslim although Greeks are 90-95% Christians. No offense fellow Muslims. I note this just to show the vast ignorance they have about our culture, and that they judge us without knowing anything about us.

[reginamalina]

Thank you for the comment about the Ukrainian girl. As a Russian I find it very frustrating how Eastern European in general are portrayed in American media. And it doesn't really change to the better

[naamahnotorious]

I'm Belgian, Flemish and I do recognize the fact that the French and also the Walloons (French speaking Belgians) are very helpful and unjudgemental if you try to speak french and make mistakes. They'll always correct you in a polite, non judgemental way as to help you gain skill in the language. And yes, Paris, just like Bruxelles is all about the cobblestones. Flats are required.

[alwayslearning]

I live in the US. Air conditioning is crazy in the way we use it. I prefer open windows, but when it's hot I try not to overindulge with the air. The shopping malls/restaurants are freezing--such a waste of energy. I always dress for fall in the summer when I shop or go out to eat!

[melodybales]

I am honestly so embarassed by this show as an American.😅 It gives me anxiety to see such a concentrated example of an "american cliche" making all these social mistakes and being rude. I need a shower to wash off this icky feeling!!!

[olgagoldfinch]

I do not watch Emily in Paris, not really my type of movies. But I love your reviews on it. Justine, I am happy I met you here! You are not just cool and intelligent and wise, but also a very thoughtful and considerate person. As a Ukrainian I didn’t expect you to comment on that piece, but you just could not turn away and ignore it. How sweet of you! And what happened after? Your followers showed they are truly the best! Nice club of people you gathered here! It tells a lot, doesn’t it? ;) Big hugs to you!
